The Barnby Choir based in Wilmslow

Welcome

The Barnby Choir, based in Wilmslow, Cheshire, has approximately 60 members of all ages and from all walks of life. We share a love of choral music and a desire to produce exciting performances to a high standard. Our repertoire includes major sacred and secular choral works as well as more unusual music, both traditional and modern.

We meet for rehearsals on Tuesday evenings from September to May, and put on three or four concerts a year, frequently with professional soloists and instrumentalists. Rehearsals are held from 8-9.45pm at
Wilmslow Methodist Church, Kings Close, Water Lane, Wilmslow SK9 5AR

We are always pleased to receive applications from prospective members in all sections of the choir (soprano, alto, tenor and bass), and we are currently keen to expand our numbers for what promises to be an enjoyable year both musically and socially.

We offer FREE MEMBERSHIP to students and reduced fees are available for the under-25s. Any singers wishing to join us will be most welcome at rehearsal any Tuesday evening. If you are interested in joining us, or further information please contact the Choir Secretary on 0161 485 1659, or email us using the form below.

Are you interested in singing some of the great Choral Works? If so,
join us as we start our exciting new season on Tuesday 15 September.
The first few weeks will be ‘New Singers friendly’, so there’s no better
time to step up and try us out.

We will start by rehearsing the popular Rutter Magnificat for our concert
on Sunday 13 December. This will be complemented by a selection of
carols in the second half, including an exciting version of The Twelve
Days of Christmas.

Next March we will be singing Missa Fidelis, composed by our conductor
Lloyd Buck and the little-known Thamos, King of Egypt, by Mozart.

We finish our season in May with Chilcott’s Gloria and his setting of
Aesop’s Fables.

Rehearsals are on Tuesdays from 8.00 to 9.45 pm in Wilmslow
Methodist Church. If you are interested, do please get in touch or just
arrive and we’ll take it from there. No strings attached!
